Philadelphia police are investigating an alleged plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Action News has learned that police got a tip about a group, possibly a family, driving up from Virginia in a Hummer to unleash an attack at the Convention Center where votes are being counted in Philadelphia.


Action News was there as a man was taken into custody. It's unclear how or if the man is connected with the investigation.

Police say they recovered a weapon and believe they recovered the Hummer they received a tip about.

Just end this already, people are crazy

No one was expecting this? These people are not what you'd call "stable geniuses."

There better be armed security at every vote counting center in the states that are left right now.

The theory that these remaining states are all terrified to be the one that pushes Biden over 270 for fear of being mobbed by armed Trump cultists doesn't seem all that farfetched.

More destroyed lives under the reign of Trump (though I imagine this guy wasn't exactly a model citizen anyway)

And this is sadly probably something a lot from Trump's base are thinking of. These people are stupid.

This is all on Trump. Him standing up there and implying these people counting are crooks and doing criminal things is what leads to shit like this. He's disgusting.

You can thank the dipshit republicans taking the bait from trump. Along with fox giving them a platform to talk about the election being stolen somehow. It's probably going to get worse going into the weekend.

Im hoping that none of them try and burn down a counting center. That would throw the country into chaos. what do you do at that point if the ballots are destroyed?

Considering Las Vegas had that mass shooting and Nevada is seemingly in no hurry to count-I believe it too.

Like I said earlier today. It is utterly irresponsible and frankly dangerous that the vote counts have gone on this long. Every moment that they go on is another moment Trump and right wing extremists are using to galvanize their bases for a physical fight.

Reguardless of what happens. These stats must be forced to update their laws to allow precounting ballots so this never happens in the future.

I was reading a few days ago about people getting "Blue dots" painted on their house in a targetting effort. Shit is bat-shit insane 1930s suppression tactics.

Where I live they record ballots when they arrive so they probably know what's there and what hasn't been counted yet. Of course it would probably require a lawsuit to let people resubmit their ballots and I don't trust the courts to save them.

Oh, the irony. They said WE'D be the ones to go crazy, try to attack people, ect. If we lost.

Going to love to see the same ones spewing that bullshit try to hand wave this away.

I'm not even willing to say that. Right wingers may be shitty people, but it's the Trumpers specifically who are crazy, egged on by Trump himself.

That's a distinction without a difference and we've been doing this shit for decades now. Just because some right wingers are smart enough to avoid aligning themselves too closely to someone who becomes unpopular and/or is about to lose an election, doesn't mean they're not crazy

Trump right wingers want a hardcore authoritarian relitous state. Other right wingers, the ones who publicly scoff at the notion that that would happen don't necessarily have it as a priority but if it happened would shrug their shoulders and say it's still preferable to "socialism." That's the game. You avoid being crazy out loud until conditions allow you to do it knowing there won't be any blowback or stigma.

PS: if you're one of those on the left who has been compelled by ProjectLincoln and all the rest of those fucking assholes who are responsible for getting us here: just stop. They're not allies.

Deserves some hard prison time. Terrorist plot against a voting center.

This is why Trump's words are so fucking dangerous. There's hundreds of millions of people in this country. All it takes is one person to act on it.

Jesus, can we stop with the hard-on for TLP? It's old, played out, and hardly a gotcha. I don't think it's controversial to say not all right-wingers are willing to try to blow up a voting center, regardless of how much I disagree with their views.

Yeah it's ridiculous and crazy they've allowed for counting to take this long after the election, it's perfect for Trump to incite violence.

It always takes a long time to fully count the vote, the only difference this time is that the republican response to covid made the absentee ballots deeply partisan. And the fact so many states are so close, of course.

The Philadelphia DA's office has now identified the two men arrested yesterday carrying weapons near the Convention Center as Joshua Macias and Antonio Lamotta. Macias was one of the founding members of the group 'Vets for Trump' but left in August.
